Item Description
This is a truly fabulous
Antique French Sterling Silver Sauce Boat
by talented Parisian silversmith from mid 19th Century TURQUET, active 1844-1855.
Delighted to have for sale this magnificent quality
Antique French Sterling Silver Sauceboat
by Pierre François Augustin TURQUET, active 1844-1855. This fabulous mid-19C sterling silver sauce/gravy boat consists of three parts: Sauce Jug, Charger/Service Plate and Removable Interior Liner Bowl. It functions quite reasonable - you have no need to carry the whole sauceboat to refill sauce or gravy, and the service plate is removable, attached with a screw.
The design is remarkably sophisticated and elegant - gorgeous, yet not too much elaborate, finely embellished with raised floral & foliage motifs on smooth surface in careful composition. The curvy shape of the sauce jug would look fabulous on your table from every direction. The service plate has amazing raised contoured rim with acanthus leaf accents, standing on 4 casted feet in Rococo style.
